We
store our genealogy records on a computer program called "Family Tree
Maker". We have provided a link to the Family Tree Maker Home Page as
well as the Home Page for Latter Day Saints. Our Family Trees have been
submitted to both organizations in hopes of finding more family members who may
be searching for information on the Husk, Fugitt, Cain, Kusek, or Kendzierski
families.

I am John W. Husk Jr., a
descendant of Valentine "Felty" Husk who was born in the 1700's and
died in 1826. I have newspaper articles that record the fact that Felty's
house in Davies County, Kentucky was restored by the local community because it
has been declared the oldest house in Davies County. It was built around
or prior to 1810 near the banks of Pup Creek.
Click to
see Felty's original house In Daviess Co., Kentucky. It is a
20 foot by 40 foot, 200 year old log house (not a cabin). Photo, be
patient, loads very slowly. I have recently learned from another John W. Husk
(Colorado) that the house was supposed to be moved from the Shouse property to
Kentucky Weslyan College campus in Owensboro. However, when they began removing
the clapboarding over the logs, termites were found. An exterminator was to be
sent out but the Shouses were afraid that the termites would get into their new
house (it would be just to the right of the large tree in the photo). The Shouse
family torched Felty's house, burning it to the ground. John was not sure if
they had sold the house by that time or if they got into any trouble for setting
fire to the old house. His data indicates that article was printed in the
Owensboro, Kentucky Messenger-Inquirer on Friday, February 13, 1976

DNA testing is another tool
used for "growing" your family tree. In March 2006 I received my
DNA results from "Family Tree DNA". They are a leader in Genetic
Genealogy. The Y-DNA test is used to confirm paternal lineage and common
ancestry on the male line. Click on the icon to go to the "Family
Tree DNA" web page. Plenty of interesting reading. I am a
member of the HURST Surname Project. Yes there is a connection between
Husk, Hurst, and Hust.
The FUGITT name comes into
play from my mom's side of the family. I am a descendant of Greene and
Mary Louisa Fugitt who were born in approximately 1850. The Fugitt line
starts with Greene and is followed by Lewis, Guy, and my mother Maxine. I
would love to expand on the Fugitt and welcome any and all inquiries.
The Cain family info begins at
Samuel Cain (b. 1793) who was married to Elizabeth Neely (b. 1801). I have
fond memories of visiting my great-grandmother Melissa Iona Cain Fugitt who
always had boxes of Cracker Jacks ready for us and lived in a house with a very
large hill for a back yard.
The KUSEK Family Tree is
Laura's family tree. She is a descendant of Maciej (Matthew) Kusek who
died in 1913 and Zofia (Sophie) Jelen who died in 1932. Their son Peter is
Laura's grandfather and Peter's son Robert is Laura's father.
Laura's mothers maiden name is
KENDZIERSKI. The Kendzierski line as we know it begins with Maximilian
Kendzierski and Helena Scukowski. Their son Joseph (married to Anna Marie
Tomaszewski) is Laura's grandfather. Joseph and Anna's daughter Dolores is
Laura's mother. We have limited knowledge to share but would love to learn
more!
